New Kettering

New Kettering was a colony of England established in 1585 in California during the Anglo-Spanish War.

History
New Kettering was established in 1585 by Allan Franklin and settlers from the port of Bristol in England's West Country. The settlement was established in what is now Modoc County, California, and it allied with the local Klamath and Nootka tribes in order to provide security against Spain. The colony expanded to have a maximum population of 200 people, and the town was augmented with farmland and other buildings, assisting in its development. The English burned down the Spanish settlement of San Pedro Vasco after sending waves of settlers and troops to the Spanish town, and they emerged victorious over their Spanish rivals. However, the settlement would later be abandoned when the English raiders left California, and the Spanish would retake the colony.
